Jake goes to the State Fair

On Sunday, we took a family trip to the State Fair of Texas. It was even more special, because my mom and mamaw are in Texas this week to see Jake. Mom has come to Texas for the fair before, but this was Jake and Mamaw's first trip to the fair. I was a little nervous about how Jake would do, he loves being outside...but we would be gone for a long time, it was TX-OU weekend, and he's a baby, so you just never know :-) He did FANTASTIC! The only time he fussed all day was when we passed a ride that made a loud noise and it scared him, other than that, he loved that fair. He kept staring at all of the food we were eating, I think he was a little jealous! Stephen and I told him that next year he would be able to eat the yummy fair food.

Jake in his stroller, ready to enter the fair...and since he it was Texas-OU weekend, Jake was representing proudly for the Longhorns, HOOK EM!

Stephen headed straight for the Fletcher's line when we got inside, we love us some corny dogs!

Jake was not happy, he wanted his own corny dog :-)

We tried to take Jake to the petting zoo, but it was insanely crowded! Wall to wall people, not wanting to push our luck, we snapped one picture and left.

We brought Jake's baby bjorn with us, we had only tried it once before and Jake wasn't a fan, but I hoped he would like it more now that he is older, and he did! Stephen was an awesome Daddy and carried Jake for a while this way! Jake loved the front flap, he chewed on it the whole time, it must have felt good on his tooth coming in.

At the auto show, me and a Chevy Traverse...hopefully, my next car

This is how Jake spent his time in both buildings of the auto-show, an exhibit hall, and lots of walking...he took a 90 minute nap, I wish he napped that well at home!
